a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

all my flaws

Who can you blame?
Are the feelings unjust when a decision is a matter of knowing you must find fault or favour with the ill winds of change?
It is never enough to simply rearrange plans or predicaments. It is like making a prediction of all my flaws with my faith as fractured or fragile as it is, or has been.
Far easier to see what I haven’t been doing.

Mondays are just young Fridays

We tire of unpredictable weather, the damp morning chill, wet socks and lost mittens. Winter keeps reminding it is not through with us.
   We have suffered long enough.
   The streets are tired and dirty and the time change only makes things darker in the morning.
   We need a brighter view.
   We need, now, the renewal that comes with spring.

action

Progress comes less from planning than participation.
Dreams and wishes require action and attention.
Start moving.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

what to do

Posted on March 22, 2022 by j.g.lewis Leave a comment

People, generally, do what they
have to do or what they think
they have to do.
   Some people are able to do as
they want, while others might
be able to do as they please.
   There are a lot of people who
aren’t doing what they are most
capable of doing because they
lack the confidence to do what
they really should be doing.
   Too many people have to be
told what to do and, even then,
they still cannot do it.
   Some people are unwilling to
do what is required or do what
what is necessary
   What are you doing?
